Why did I create Binsoo?
Around July-August of last year (2023), I was unemployed, so I used that time to learn something new to refresh myself and forget about the negativity. Then, I thought about making my first app for my declining career (sounds pretty negative, huh?).
I also love photography—taking photos of landscapes and everyday life—but I’m not great at taking pictures of my girlfriend 🙉. Since I enjoy photography but often end up with bad shots, I usually edit my photos to make them more vibrant. So, when I started thinking about what my first app should be, this idea had the highest priority.
I had initially planned to make it in 2021 because I had previously released a repo related to photo editing for React Native: https://github.com/baronha/react....
Considering the technical aspects and costs, this was a feasible side project.
Why did I name my app Binsoo?
That was also the day I started writing the first lines of code after a walk. At that time, I didn’t have much money because I was unemployed, so my girlfriend and I just roamed the streets of Saigon and decided not to spend anything until the end of the day. The weather in Vietnam was quite hot, and I only had about $15 left for spending until August. So, as fate would have it, we decided to eat a Korean dessert called “Bingsu.” After paying, the cost was $10 🥶🥶🥶, and that night I decided to name my app Binsoo (a homophone) to commemorate the moment.
I hope that Binsoo will be a standout choice among the countless photo editing apps out there. Try it out and let us know your thoughts! We're here to answer any questions and we're excited to learn from your feedback.
Hey Bao,
The personal story behind its creation is inspiring 🙂
Can you explain more about the recipe-sharing feature and how it fosters community engagement?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin This is something I plan to do in the future to improve the “Recipes from Community” feature. Currently, it’s not very robust, but soon I will enhance it so that everyone can easily share recipes within the app, making the experience much more seamless.
